A simulator for soldiers developed for the needs of the Ministry of Defense is being resold to a corporation that develops virtual reality games. For the first testing, a post-apocalyptic setting is chosen. It would seem, what could go wrong? All! And then they decide to involve someone who will later create the Gamer Rescue Service....

Author's notes: In many ways, the beginning of the book is a remake of the tabletop role-playing game that we played about 10 years ago. The book is very influenced by Mad Max, Fallout 1-2, and similar games.
